Her Majesty The Queen Elizabeth II is unwell with some kind of stomach bug. It was bad enough to warrent her not only to cancell all Saint Davids Day activities in Wales...but to cancel a Two Day holiday to Rome, which I hear she was really looking forward to.

She is 86 years old and so any ailment at her age (whether Monarch or not) should be taken seriously

She has nearly as good an absence record as me. In the last year of three hundred and fifty engagements, she has missed only two. One when she had a nose bleed, and one when the sciatica in her back was to painful to move.

She hasnt been in hospital since 2003 when she had her knees done...So this is as serious as it sounds, and the doctors are worried she is dehydrated
